SCT Crayford Focuser

l finally fitted my new focuser and find it probably the best accessory l've bought for my scope, as usual the quality of the W.O products is superb and works very well.
There are a number of Crayford focusers available for SCT's as l think Beren and Rumples have fitted different models, any other SCT owners if bothered by mirror shift should look at one of these as they make viewing a lot more enjoyable.

If you buy a motorized unit the same handbox that drives the moonlite can be brought separately , like Paul said its not the classiest piece of kit but it works well plus the autofocus one can be brought as well
